Description

A richly photographed full-color wish book, The Potting Shed from Smith & Hawken celebrates the room that is as much a workshop for the gardener as the kitchen is for the cook. Practical and romantic, idea-filled and beautiful, it is imbued with the Smith & Hawken sensibility: quality, authenticity, and a return to the old ways. There are chapters on the history of the potting shed. The gardener's tools, and how to store and care for them. And seasonal joys and labors, including spring--with tips on germinating seeds, using cloches, transplanting seedlings; summer--the time for picking flowers for potpourri; fall--how to dry herbs, plant spring-blooming bulbs, and gather seeds for next year; and winter--when it's time to relax in front of the woodstove and pore over catalogs. Whether the "potting shed" is a cleared-off space on a kitchen counter, a corner in the garage, an old table and wash basin against the side of the house--or an actual shed--The Potting Shed is every gardener's dream of where the garden begins. Photographs by Hugh Palmer. 48,000 copies in print. Read more

  • Love the cover!
Came thru in perfect condition in a timely manner. Little disappointed in content, but that's not the fault of the seller.

  • Every shed is on my "Wish List
This is the ultimate idea book when it comes to garden and potting sheds. I page through this and fantasize exactly how I want MY shed to look... a little like this, a little like that! It's not a "how to" -- it won't tell you how to build a shed. But it is a stepping off place to plan your shed, with ideas for every budget and space. One of my favorite "feel good" books to page through when I just want some ideas. ... show more

  • Okay
Nice to page through but not much "content".

  • Disappointed
I bought this for ideas because I plan to add a shed, something with an appearance that will add to the garden we've created. This is not a good picture book at all. There are many better pictures on the internet.

  • Magical writing!
This is such a wonderful little book filled with charm and magic - I read and re-read it all the time. It would make the perfect gift for an old-fashioned gardener. Has some nice English history in it, just delightful.

  • Cute Book.
Very cute little book. Can use the book as a design element itself.
